Manizales Colombia, A Neat Little City

Manizales Travel Blog

THIS PLACE IS A JEWEL!! I came to Manizales Colombia on a hunch. I planned to stay a week or two. A month later I am still here and plan to stay another month. In fact, I plan to move here to live. The setting is gorgeous,the women are spectacular, and the cost of living is right.. If you are a single american male, this is the place to be. The girls are very friendly, willing to talk and they actually like older gringos - amazing! I tried out this dating service

and met some lovely languid latinas. This place is also quite safe. I feel very secure here. Uribe's adminstration has sent the guerillas packing. I can walk in the main area of the city without fear at any time day or night. There is shopping, sports, movies, good food, theaters and access to natural wonders. The city is full of students and the vibrant atmosphere is pervasive. I just hope that it isn't discovered too soon by the boomers retiring in the USA - there goes the neighborhood as they say - hahahaha.

I am looking forward during the next month to getting around the area, visiting some of the smaller villlages and finding a place to live when I come back in August.
